The Jenoptik Optical Systems division focuses its scope of service in the field of optoelectronics on the ever-increasing demands of the market for devices and testing procedures in rapid diagnostics. Sensitivity and specificity of Jenoptik’s semiconductor and optical components meet the full range of current and future assays and markers as well as the diversity of detection methods.
In this field we have been a reliable development partner and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for leading diagnostic companies for more than ten years.
We can draw upon great experience in development and production of more than 100 million detection modules and components, which operate extremely narrowband at wavelengths specifically required in the range between UV 350 nm and NIR 1750 nm.
The optimum balance of energy input into the sample on the one hand and signal detection on the other hand is achieved by using optical components, such as lenses and filters, especially adapted to the needs of rapid diagnostics.
We are a prime partner in industrializing and manufacturing of customized optoelectronic single or system components for rapid diagnostics. This includes demanding chip technology, as well as precision assembly and housing according to customer requirements.
Together with EPIGAP Optoelektronik GmbH, which was acquired in 2008 and now is fully integrated, Jenoptik offers, as one of only a few manufacturers in the world, the entire value chain – from the chip to the reader housing – consolidated within one company. The reduction of interfaces avoids common sources of error and leads to gain of quality and time.
Jenoptik combines the core competencies and technologie:
– Optics and system design
– Chip development and production, board layout
– Precision tooling
– Injection molding technologies (2-component, macro and micro)
– Surface technology
– High precision assembly and packaging technologies
and thus covers the complete value chain from the sample detection to the output of a digital signal. Already today optoelectronic arrays can be configured for excitation and detection in multi-parameter analytics which are increasingly powerful, smaller and highly cost-efficient.
Consequently, Jenoptik’s scope of service meets even the highest requirements of the industry in rapid diagnostics and personalized medicine.
